Verily, this room doth belong to the Renaissance Giant! It is festooned with banners that were awarded at fake jousts, there's a giant pyramid of picked-cleaned turkey legs, and there are both wooden and leather mugs on a shelf. There's also an impressive array of duct-tape and cardboard weaponry, and for some reason a selection of fox tails to be clipped onto the back of a kilt with cargo pockets.
